Russia, by far. The American strategy (as was the strategy for most of the allies) was carefully planned and precise. The Russians had a huge population and just charged full speed ahead into Germany, overpowering the Nazis with sheer numbers and taking heavy casualties along the way.
What was the death toll for World War 1 Australia?
Military Casualties of World War OneThe 'Great War', which began on 28 July 1914 with Austria-Hungary's declaration of war with Serbia, and which ended with the German armistice of 11 November 1918, produced a vast number of casualties and deaths - and similarly vast numbers of missing soldiers.The precise numbers remain shrouded in the passing of time compounded by the incompleteness of available records. In the heat of action accurate records were not always kept, and where they were, these were not uncommonly lost in subsequent actions, such were the conditions of trench warfare.Thus the figures reproduced below cannot be regarded as definitive but are a fair reflection of the scale of losses country by country.Note too that these statistics reflect military casualties only; no reliable figures are available for civilian casualties throughout the world. Attributing civilian casualties to the effects of war is a subjective process at best; the scale of the First World War certainly resulted in an absence of even the most approximate figures for affected nations.CountryDeadWoundedMissingTotalAustralia58,150152,170-210,320Austria-Hungary922,0003,600,000855,2835,377,283Belgium102,000450,000-552,000Britain658,7002,032,150359,1503,050,000Bulgaria87,500152,39027,029266,919Canada56,500149,700-206,200France1,359,0004,200,000361,6505,920,650Germany1,600,0004,065,000103,0005,768,000Greece5,00021,0001,00027,000India43,20065,1755,875114,250Italy689,000959,100-1,424,660Japan30090731,210Montenegro3,00010,0007,00020,000New Zealand16,13040,750-56,880Portugal7,22213,75112,31833,291Romania335,706120,00080,000535,706Russia1,700,0005,000,000-6,700,000Serbia45,000133,148152,958331,106Turkey250,000400,000-650,000USA58,480189,95514,290262,725Totals7,996,88821,755,1961,979,55631,508,200
How many pilots died in World War 1?
About 16 million all together died in the war, about 9.8 million were soldiers. So with that in mind I'd say it wouldn't be much more than 1 million, if that. ----------------------------- The numbers of aircraft in World War 1 were very small. Some of the most successful designs were produced in numbers of 5 - 6,000. An indication of the pilot casualties can be seen from a question raised in the British Parliament 5 months before the end of the war. Of 14,166 Royal Flying Corps pilot casualties in France 8,000 were a result of training accidents. The total number of all pilot casualties would be unlikely to be more than 50,000 - 75,000 on the Western Front. Casualties in training in England and Germany may have been on a similar scale if flight training was actually carried out before pilot officers were sent into the theater of war.

Battle of Berlin April 1945 casualties?
The Russians admitted 300,000 casualties with 75,000 dead. Their true number of casualties was certainly much higher, perhaps double the official numbers. The German casualties were estimated at 100,000 military or paramilitary including Volksrum and Hitler youth, along with an additional 175,000 civilian casualties, for a total of 275,000. Again the numbers are most likely low. Some authoritative estimates place the combined number of casualties for all combatants at over 1,000,000. No matter what the true numbers were two facts stand out. Urban warfare which becomes house to house and street to street fighting is extremely expensive in lives and always leads to horrific casualty counts.

What unit in a US Civil War battle had by far the fewest casualties?
By far and away, artillery soldiers had an extremely low rate of casualties. The numbers of such casualties are so low its difficult to imagine they can be real. But there were.
